JOHN SHERMAN.

The speech of Senator Sherman, at
Springfield. ILL.,, synopsis of which ap-
peared in yesterdays EAGLE, is in many
respects a master effort. Mr.. Sherman
showed that the principles advocated by
Calhoun, which principles cost this coun-
try SO dearly, are still the guiding star OF
the Democratic party Their prejudices
are shown in their appointments to places
of power and trust great numbers OF men
who not only believe the doctrines OF John
c. Calhoun, but men who fought in the
battles of the rebellion to establish them.
Even Mr.. Cleveland, he says, comes for
ward and endorses the teachings of Cal
hOup at the time of the dedication of the
Calhoun monument. In his letter to the COM
mittee who invited him to be present on that
occasion, the president said: at would be
well if all Calhoun thought and all he be-
lieved and taught and all his aspirations
were better known and understood" AS
General Jackson, the great prophet of the
Democratic party, is said to have always
regretted that he did not arrest and hang
John c. Calhoun we cannot see how the
Democratic party Of the north can regard
with satisfaction this utterance of the presi-
dent. We do not believe this is the sentl-
ment of Northern Democrats today, but it
is the sentiments Of Southern Democrats
and Mr. Sherman shows that the southern
idea prevails in the councils of that party.
The great senator says well, when he said
the mission of the Republican party will
never end until every legal voter can cast
one honest vote, and no more, and have
that vote counted.
Of the president Senator Sherman says:
"It uhe Republican party has fairly treated
the Democratic president who has gained
public approval only as he has resisted his
party"
The EAGLE of May said: This change
in public sentiment in favor of Mr.. Cleve-
land is not owing to the fact that his adj
ministration has demonstrated The efficiency
of Democratic principles in government,
but is owing TO the fact that while he has
substituted partially a new crew, as com
mander he has kept the ship directly in
the course marked out by the Republican
commanders of former years. No material
c Ranges have been made in the policy OF
the government"
This shows that John reads the EAGLE
and accounts partly for the brilliancy OF
the man.

SOLID GROWTH BETTER THAN SPEC.
ULATION.

The boom of Wichita is gradually sub
siding and giving place to building and
substantial improvements. The coming
summer will doubtless be better and
safer time to invest in Wichita property
than has occurred within the past ten
months. If there is no calamity to inter
fere, as soon as the busy season is over and
fall and winter seasons come, the push and
rush and fever of speculation will again
take place and the market be as lively as
heretofore Register.
In times past people have speculated on
the prospects Of the future of this city.
There is confidence now manifested by
our people that is of more benefit
than wild speculation. The specula-
ting boom was the hope; the
building boom is the fruition of that hope.
The money being invested in this city now
is permanent Wichita property today is
considered as safe for investment as are
government bonds with larger per cent
income The people who are buying to-
day are not expecting to sell tomorrow.
The gigantic building operations here are
but the herculian efforts of enterprise to
provide for the demands oftrade and popu-
lation made upon this favored city of this
favored land. Wichita today with all her
rapid strides is not keeping pace with the
country and the demands of her trade. Her
railroads are not sufficient to carry her
freights on time. Her contractors can not
build houses as fast as demanded. Her
princely merchants lack the capital and
house room and force of men to supply the
constantly increasing demand made upon
them in their various branches of trade. 1t
Is not better time to buy now than at any
previous time, becouse property is not
cheaper, nor never will sell for any less
money in Wichita. AS for the rush and
fever of speculation predicted by the
Register, we hope it will not come.
IF it does come, our voice will be heard
above the din calling halt. Spectators
in town lots do not build city. They only
make and pocket their thousands off OF
men who do build the cities. The specula-
tors in town lots, as rule, are men who
set in the shade while the harvesters gather
in the golden grain, and only join the
workers in singing the harvest song and
eating the harvest feast. They may add
zest to the feast, but we just want to re-
mark that they are more ornamental than

Mr.. Bennett has practically finish
ed grading thirty miles of his con-
tract, has furnished timber, piles,
and iron for bridges and trestles.
Mr.. Hunt has graded ABOUT fifteen
miles, but he has been at an enor-
nous expense in getting stores and
supplies along the line of his con-
tract. Both Mr.. Hunt and Mr.
Bennett have big lot of supplies
on the summit of the Cascades.
Work has also been suspended in
the Malheur canyons. On the other
hand Mr. Wallis Nash, in behalf of
the company, states that the COM
pany was grossly misrepresented
by Contractors Bennett and Hunt,
and that the strict honesty and
straightforwardness which charac-
terized A. A. -Shenck, the engineer
In the performance OF his duties UNI
der their contracts, undeterred by
threats, bullying or cajolery, was
what caused the displeasure of the
contractors. Mr.. Nash adds: "Both
Mr.. Bennett and MIR. Hunt may
also find it an expensive amuse-
ment to sign contracts which serve
to keep other contractors out of the
field, and by delays, natural or ar
tifcial, expend the whole season in
doing less than what they under
take to do in three months" One
thing is certain-work on the Ore
gon Pacific has ceased, but Cald

Contractors G. w. Hunt and

them, and annulled and rescinded

Mr.. Bennett had contract for the

Hunt the next fifty. The contract
ors claim that they were forced to
take this action because of the COM
pany's non-ful6llment of their part
of the contracts, in that they failed

of work done under the contracts.

son be advanced why those living
within the boundaries above de-
scribed should not be welded to-
gether into one homogeneous and
powerful state?"
"The question of population and
wealth ofthe proposed state are of
vital Importance. In that portion
of Montana embraced within its
limits there are about $4,000 peo-
pie. 1t is perfectly safe to say that
Idaho has population of $4,000.
II = The proposed state would be-
gin it's history with population of
not less than 100000, while it's
wealth, even upon the basis Of the
present valuation, with mines ex-
empt from taxation, would be am
pie to support a state government
at lower rate of taxation than is
now required to support the gov
ernments of two territories.
with ample population and
wealth, congress neither could nor
would ignore the demand for admis-
sion. The new state, for time at
least, would be democratic in pol
itics. The small democratic ma
jority of from 600 to 1000 in Idaho,
added to the still smaller majority
in Montana, would secure a coun-
terbalance in the United States SEN
ate to republican Dakota"
There are two questions which
might possibly occasion difficulty,
one based upon sentiment, the other
upon interest. They are the name
of the proposed state and the loca-
ton of the capital. y This
difficulty, however, is more seeming
than real. The name of the state
could be determined by the conven-
ion called under an enabling act

Die could be depended on not to
